Several fun entertainment events are coming to Yakima and Tri-Cities during October and November 2026. Might be worth the trip!

Sometimes I feel like all the good stuff happens over on the Westside of Washington or in Spokane. We seldom get big name concerts that come our way; they're always going to Seattle, Auburn, or Tacoma.

Yet every now and then, something cool comes our way. Take these cool events for example, that are happening in Yakima and the Tri-Cities this October and November.

October 2026

 

Bluey's Big Play in Kennewick

My 15-year-old kiddo is officially too old to go see Bluey in concert, but I bet you if she was 10 years old or younger, she'd be all in my face asking for tickets to this show.

Fresh Hop Ale Festival in Yakima

I didn't get to make it last year because I wasn't feeling the crowds. Maybe this year, I'll get a wild hair up my keister and go with some friends.
